Normative versus Non-Normative References #133

Closed aboba closed 10 years ago

aboba commented 10 years ago

All of the references in the document are currently normative. However, looking at the WebRTC 1.0 specification, there are a number of non-normative references that are normative in the ORTC API specification. Is this intentional?

For example, some of the following references might be considered Informative:
